Petrie is ready for a trade deadline (merged)
- Thread starter Webber4tHREE
- Start date
First of all, the Mobley deal was not so much for this season as it is for the future. Doug had an extra year on his contract while Cat's is up after this season (he has an option and has stated he won't exercise it, at least not while he was with Orlando). If Mobley does not exercise it then it will free up a good chunk of cap space for the Kings and if you thought that DC was looking old this year just wait 'til next season.
IMO, Petrie has to be looking to make a move, not just for the sake of making one, but one that will greatly improve this team. I think that the only safe players might be Bibby and Brad and that if a trade is done before the deadline it may involve Pedja and/or Bobby...that's if they have already decided whether or not they are going to exercise the team option on Bobby after this season.

I was thinking the same thing, UNLESS they gave us a couple players with expiring contracts after this year. I totally wouldn't be against starting Songalia for the remainder of the year if that meant getting rid of Webbers, and whoever we got for Webber after this year.
Maybe MAYBE MAYBE that would make Peja happy.. A Happy Peja, is a superstar Peja

truth is we need someone that slashes strong towards the hoop. we have too many shooters and it makes our game one dimensional. acquiring Paul Pierce would be an awesome trade for the Kings.

Yes, but:
a) it takes two to Tango
b) Pierce has long been an interesting idea, but the one potential drawback is that he may need the ball in his hands much more than Peja. Peja's ability to score without having the ball for more than a few seconds is very useful on a team full of passers because he doesn't have to dominate the ball and take away touches from teammates.
